I really liked him and a real shame he was run out of town on a rail. I went to see him speak one time in the early 1990’s at Franklin College near Indy. He was very interesting and hilarious, opposite of what the LSM tried to project of him.
He wasn’t really run out of town; he could have stayed on the Circuit Court for the District of Columbia but chose to step down after the Democrat Senate (along with John Warner et al) voted him down for the Supreme Court. He could have still been on the Circuit Court had he so chosen.
